ROS News of the Week of May 13th, 2024
We wrapped up the Jazzy Test and Tutorial Party this week and everyone is diligently working towards the Jazzy release next week. We’re asking all ROS package maintainers who plan to release their package with Jazzy or soon thereafter to prepare a “Jazzy Jive” for release day.
ICRA 2024 was this week in Yokohama, Japan. It feels like the on-line world of robotics has slowed to a crawl while people meet in real life. IEEE Spectrum has a great round up of videos from ICRA.
Last night was our ROS Meetup in Pittsburgh at Gecko Robotics. I was really impressed with their office, testing equipment, and overall business model. Apparently I am not the only one.
Pick up some Jazzy swag at spring.ros.org!
